  >Proven alleges that McNally failed to disclose critical information, such as "that successfully bypassing the lock required prior disassembly of the product to examine its internal components, including the position of the plunger, and to manufacture a custom-fit shim with precise notch dimensions."

  In response, McNally posted a video where he unpackaged a lock outside an Amazon locker, cut a shim out of a can with scissors, and opens the lock in seconds.
